Queen Of Asia is more like it (sorry Hikki). And Namie is back to singing mostly Japanese?!!!! Call the police, call the govena. I love it, but I think Rise video will be better because it looks better. 

You better watch out :green:. I love Namie, but for me, Kumi and Hikki's discography >>> hers :shrug: 

I too am happy shes back to singing in Japanese though :giveup: I like genic, but the lack of Japanese upset me :noparty: Hero is good to me, but the slow opening just to be uptempo at the end seems so weird to me :duck: It seems like a really extended introduction, which hurts the song for me. Rise will have a bigger budget though, so it will win as far as video goes too :shrug:

We were just talking about this in the KPop/JPop thread haha. I don't love the song, but it's a lot better than Rise. I was really hoping to like Rise but it just doesn't do anything for me.

Ugh I love Hanataba wo Kimi Ni though :crossed: 

The other is a little too slow for me. But Hanataba is so catchy and sweet.

It's not my favorite song from Namie for sure

but still so much better then Rise lol

Cause once you let it go you better know it's gone

I agree she should just go back to singing Japanese, her English songs are great but just not as perfect as Japanese.

I quite like the change in pace of the song because it's surprising and I like it.

yeah obviously Katy has way more budget then Namie for the video

Manatsu no Tooriame is so beautiful though :giveup:  That song and Sakura Nagashi are on my top 15 of her whole discography, they just sound so beautiful and intune with nature. The song structure of Manatsu is interesting too, its not a typical verse-chorus ballad :flutter:

Yeah I really appreciate both of those songs, particularly the last minute or so of each. They're very distinctly "Hikki songs." But I usually like her upbeat songs more.

It's so cool to discover more Utada fans on here though. She has such a big fanbase but I feel like we're not as "loud" as other fanbases are haha

Rise>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I prefer Katy's version. It's more international and I prefer the lyrics.

That's only because you understand English 

Plus Hero is for Japan only it wasn't meant to be international

Hikki disco, yes. But Kumi?.... Maybe on another Universe. Definitely not in this earth that I'm living in. Best Fiction scalp Kumi's weave easily. 

Genic was a downgrade (imo) after Feel... That electronic masterpiece. Hero is a grower. I am a sucker for Mama Amuro midtempo/ballad (people hated Tempest, but I loved it to death and the simple video slayed). I mean, most J-Pop videos aren't anything to write home (unless it's something from Ayu... In her prime. Her recent videos are a mess).

Maybe during 1999-2004, but even then, Ayu was more of a Queen than her and Namie was actually the Queen and impacting everyone from music to fashion (Japanese Madonna). Utada is a queen, but she's doesnt have that "heavenly" vibe if I'm making any sense, lol.

I disagree about Kumi in every way humanly possible, but let's agree to disagree :poot: 

~~~~

I like to think of Utada as a Humble Queen. She didn't have any intentions of conquering the world or taking anyone by storm with her music, style, personality, etc, she just wanted to make some music and express herself Also, she always had a down-to-earth vibe that's really unheard of in popular music, even to today :giveup: 

As for Namie Ive always saw her as an Almost A-lister in the past because of how much she bored me, but now that the other older pop girls are out of the game, shes getting her time to shine at the top, which isn't fun when there's little competition :crossed:

Also, your avi is totally appropriate but inappropriate at the same time for this conversation :air:

Equally generic.. but Hero is slightly warmer than the straight-out-of-coffin Rise.
